Day 211 - July 30

It was a big doctor's appointment day today. One of the big benefits of having kids two days (and 3 years) a part is that you get to bring them both to the doctor at the same time for the big check ups!

So, as a way of documenting it, I'll give the stats real quick, though that has nothing to do with the picture.

Cate, at 1 year and 12 days old, weighed 18 lbs and 8 oz. That put her in only the 30th percentile for weight. She was also only 27 inches long, which I think also puts her around the 30th for that. I'm hoping she catches up on the height like Michaela did.

Michaela, at 4 years and 14 days old, weighed 36.6 lbs. She's actually back up to the 50th percentile after being down around the 15th or something at her 3 year appointment last year. She's 42 inches (and a little bit, I think) tall, which puts her in the 90th percentile for height. YAY!!!

Both girls have met or exceeded all their milestones and they're happy and healthy! Maybe a little too healthy, actually... Michaela hasn't been to the doctor for a non-well-child visit since before we left Kodiak, so she was a little scared of the whole thing. Our doctor is AWESOME, though, so she got over it pretty quickly.

Anywho, like I said, the picture has nothing to do with any of that, except that our appointment went late, so we ended up stopping for dinner on the way home instead of eating at home like we'd planned. So dinner was at Jason's Deli, where, if you've never been there before, you get free soft serve ice cream (self-serve) with your dinner.

Cate got her first taste of ice cream. She may have liked it.
